Gotta justify their abuse somehow

People around me put cones, trash cans, and even sawhorses to prevent people from doing this.

I’ll be honest, I have gone two extra driveway spaces to put my tires on someone’s driveway that did this when I needed to turn around. Just out of spite.

I get not wanting random strangers pulling in all the time, I used to get that all the time due to a U shaped driveway that Google used to direct people was a turn around spot for a missed turn. But it’s not a big deal, and unless I was asleep and my dogs woke me up I wouldn’t care.

Now, parking on a random driveway while figuring out where you are is weird to me. And also fuck all the cops who used to use my driveway to try and catch people speeding. You were visible from both sides of the road long before your radar can give you a reading. You did nothing but leech tax money.

I have strong opinions on driveways depending on who you are and why you need it but mostly it’s “you do you booboo”

Cavemen? Maybe 20,000 years ago.

10,000 years ago we were planting crops and forming cities. They weren’t built to last the ages like Rome, but dirt cities are still cities.

Besides, Ubumfejn-Hooga-booga is the FALSE GOD. The REAL God is Ubumfejn-Booga-Hooga. But nobody has worshipped her since 12,527 B.C.E. after a high-priest got drunk on fermented fruit and accidentally swapped the name while reciting The Old Ways, and who’s gonna correct the high-Priest?

… Do you smell toast?

11 minutes vs 3 is a long time.

Uhhhhhh you should probably at least drain out the placenta fluid…

To continue with the argument of “the market will self-regulate and people wouldn’t buy that brand anymore so they would never do it again”

Okay but how many people died, how many people are suffering long-term effects, and what’s stopping them from adding a different deadly thing to our food?

inb4 a bunch of junkies redditors justify their addiction continuing usage because [reason]

Is it considered normal to type out a normal question format when using search engines?

If I were looking for an answer instead of making a funny meme, I’d search “heat movie cast Angelina Jolie” if I didn’t feel like putting any effort in.

Then again, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. I’ve seen someone use their phone to search google “what is 87÷167?” instead of doing “87/167” or like… Opening the calculator…

People do things in different, sometimes weird ways.

At first I thought “wow, really? Only 8 seconds?”

Count out 8 full seconds in your head.

Now imagine you’re being hit by young teenagers with baseball bats.

8 seconds is a LONG time

Ah. Well that’s a relief, I removed foxit, and never had anything Adobe.

I open the pdfs in inkscape to pull the vector files and save them as an svg. There’s probably a simpler way, but this allows me to open the vector in a lot more programs like my laser software and my CAD programs.

The only pdfs that get printed like a normal person are small rc planes and the files are from trusted sources.

It’s nice to know I can do a little extra to protect myself from pdf based attacks though, thanks for the info!

Oh damn, that gave me flashbacks of trying to get my page to look the way I wanted it while knowing almost nothing about any type of coding…

You’re thinking of Lance Armstrong

He was a tall, bald black man who was a great actor and starred in movies like John Wick, and also did voice overs for tons of games, including Destiny.

Any questionable software I have is coming up on 4 years old now, most of it is older than that. I move them to a new machine every time I upgrade, simply because I don’t trust torrents anymore.

Honestly, I don’t trust PDFs anymore unless they’re from places I know are “safe” which kind of sucks because I’ve been getting back into RC as a hobby and it’s hard to find non-pdf plans. I prefer vector files, but I’m having to try my luck with jpg and png files.

A lot of the programs I used to use have been surpassed by current FOSS projects, and I’ve been replacing them as I can. Finding an open source laser engraver program that isn’t shit is proving difficult.

Addicts always gotta justify how they get their fix, I guess.

I can go to my individual comments and check the scores, but I like that I can’t see any cumulative score. I’m a sucker for “number go up” games.

Lemmy isn’t a competition.

Oof, you must have gotten a shipment of Ferengi pencils, they can be a little… “Eccentric”

I was gonna ask “And just how long is this pork, exactly?”

I’ve been told I need to redo paperwork because I marked the date like 12APR2025.

I get standardization for computers, but for something a person is going to look at I feel like it’s very direct, needs no explanation or interpretation. Anyone who sees it should be able to figure it out instantly.

Ugh. They always try to get you with the shipping… Pass.
